Question: Where can we place Sam through his
speech?
Answer: Speaks
british, with a Cockney-Accent.
Evidence: "...One of my
favourite parts was the bantering in "Choice Cuts" when Chris is trying to
teach Sam y'all and Sam comes back with his cockney accent and when "he takes
his accent for a walk". I love his accent and I can hear the cockney in
it even though he tries to hide it." (from: "Ear"-Witness Julia Anderson,
protocolled 8. Dezember 1999)
Comment:
Ja mei, my bavarian soul is touched. Or let me say it with Goethe: "Jede
Provinz liebt ihren Dialekt: denn er ist doch eigentlich das Element, aus
welchem die Seele ihren Atem schöpft." ( Sorry, you have to be a poet to
translate this. The meaning is, that the "Dialekt" is the essential element for
the soul)*
So what tells the cockney accent
about Sam?
_______________ *A
charming coincidence: The Chief of the "Mundartkommission" and Chief-Editor of
the "Bayerisches Wörterbuch" (Bavarian Dictionary) is one Anthony Rowley
from Yorkshire...yes, Life is a strange Planet...
